Should put in density caps for neighborhood center so a potential Potala Village redux is avoided.

Height & setbacks is not enough definition to guide development. Huge difference of impact if a developer puts many tiny housing units v. fewer bigger ones in a given # of acres. Need to look at BC (HENC) as a whole, not as 2 separate pieces.

Mix Use – No low-income housing. It essentially subsidizes big business because it enables those businesses to keep their wages low since there are more available people to work for lower wages.

Support mixed use – retail restaurants, and business.

Access for each category – inc. parking & congestion.

Mixed use – Height limits can go up – a little. HC could be view property from upper stories. 3-4 stories is ok w/me. (If traffic and density issues are solved.)

Need to keep in line w/other similar mixed use to maintain property values.

No office /day use other than commercial in HENC. Possible residential mixed use.

Ensure ample retail/business to support walkable nature of neighborhoods for essential – not another packed in housing center such as the S. K. P&R TOD w/limited retail require (illegible).

Architectural requirements

I would like to see the city put in some building codes that would encourage more craftsman style homes vs. the ugly square glass and concrete modern-architecture homes.

The BC should be mostly retail, some housing, and almost no office. We have other office space nearby.

Mixed use – Even the city has been surprised by the “unlimited density”. We need definition & limit.

Mixed use - % of housing, office, retail

Don’t add housing. We need the retail options more for the residences that are already here. If density increases a lot (via added height) then we end up with underground parking which isn’t user friendly for quick stops to the grocery.
